WEEKEND SPECIAL: THE BEAUTY OF ME By; Clement Aghedo

The beauty of the sunset far above the waters
The colour of the sun far above the hills
I define beauty

Like a being without shadows
Like a heart feeling hollow
I define loneliness
I am strong
I am happy
I define ME

Written by Clement Aghedo

WEEKEND SPECIAL: THE FAIR ONE By; Jerry Okooboh(O'Jerry)

For my mind is pervaded
With thoughts of this dame
And my heart is undefended
As she effortlessly sets it aflame

She entices me, she teases me
But love me, she would not
The fair one, I mean
The fair one is mean!

She affects me in ways inexplicable
And she knows it, I know she does
But she would not stop and I am incapable
Of defence; she has me under a curse

And yet,
She entices me, she teases me
But love me she would not
The fair one, I mean
The fair one is mean

She enjoys what she does to me
I am sure she does
And though she may not be the enemy
Of my misery she is the source

Because,
She entices me,she teases me
But love me she would not
The fair one, I mean
The fair one is mean

Or perhaps she does not know
'Cos to be fair to her
I am yet to clad my feelings in words
But she must know, I don't believe she does not
Is the voice of action
not louder than that of words?

Still,
She entices me, she teases me
But love me she would not
The fair one, I mean
The fair one is mean

WEEKEND SPECIAL: A BOMBSHELL NIGERIA By; Olu Jacobs(Olu D'Poet)

My country Nigeria is being blackmailed by her very own CITIZENS
My restful snooze has become impractical for a hundred to one REASONS
I fear my own shadow in broad day light in the event of my own MOTION
Bombshells, war and the sound of guns make me walk in slow MOTION
My country was once a place of liberty and not HAPPENSTANCE
But the ones who fought for our freedom are not given a second CHANCE
When the time has come for you to cast a VOTE
Follow your heart and not the media's QUOTE
If we build Nigeria with bombshells, firearms and CONTENTION
How then shall we congregate together for a factual REVOLUTION?
Let us all rise and put an end to the nation's DISUNITY
For I remember the national anthem
One nation bound in freedom, peace and UNITY
I am the voice of the PEOPLE, as we ENDURE
My poems will forever rise against warfare and PERDURE
